Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 88 The Death of the Giants
The Spaniards launched the most ferocious attack since the start of the game, the ball circulated quickly at the feet of 10 Spanish players, everyone was a pass, the ball was constantly flying in the front and back of the field, the players of the Chinese team did not talk about defense, they were dazzled, and they could not even see where the ball was passing, they could only passively stand in the front and back of the penalty area, and even the dangerous area of 30 meters was let out, and now they can only defend the penalty area......
After the Spaniards hypnotized the players of the Chinese team with a pass, Xavi suddenly made a lightning-fast direct pass, and Villa started instantly, and he actually got the opportunity to face goalkeeper Zong Cheng in the Chinese team's penalty area full of players.
Fortunately, the distance was too close, and the goalkeeper Zong Cheng's nerves were tense like a tense spring, and he pounced on it and pressed the ball to the ground when Villa kicked out......
Iniesta picked up the ball and found a way in the box that could allow the ball to pass through, and he didn't hesitate to raise his foot to shoot, but his luck was not good, and the gap led to the post, and the ball smashed on the post and flew off the line......
After Mata got the ball, he started his solo performance, he suddenly accelerated, flashed past Chen Teng like lightning, avoided Zhang Dong's pull, shook Fan Yang with a feint, and then cut into the penalty area from the bottom line, attracted the central defenders of the Chinese team, and swept towards the goal.
There was chaos in the penalty area, the players of the Chinese team and the Spanish players were mixed together to scramble for the ball, some people fell to the ground in the chaos, some people scolded, but no one paid attention to it, they all went to grab this point. At this time, goalkeeper Zong Cheng couldn't find the direction, but it was amazing that the ball was touched out of the bottom line after a few turns at the door, and the Chinese team escaped again......
"Danger! The Chinese team is too dangerous! They have been completely pinned down by Spain, and now they have retreated to the edge of the penalty area to defend and could be breached by Spain if they are not careful. Said the Brazilian commentator at the scene.
"The Chinese team is finished! The Chinese team is about to finish! They can't hold the 30-meter danger zone anymore, they are now like a girl who has been stripped of her clothes, only a pair of looming lace pants remains, and the good man of Spain has worked harder to rip off his fucking panties......" The Spanish commentator turned from fear to excitement, and he shouted in front of thousands of fans with some inconsistency of words.
"Danger! Dangerous! Dangerous! The Chinese team is dangerous, Li Huan! Li Huan! Hurry up and find a way to stop Spain, there are still more than thirty minutes left, you can't let the Spaniards score now, more than thirty minutes, who knows what will happen......" Duan Xuan shouted anxiously, as if he was more nervous and anxious than the Chinese team players on the field.
The singing of "The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time" sounded again in the stands, and Chinese fans began to use singing to awaken the courage of the Chinese team players.
"Foul! Foul! If you can't touch the ball, look for someone. ”
Li Huan yelled, he didn't expect that Spain would be so terrifying at full speed, his players were dense near the penalty area and could be infiltrated by them, now the Chinese team has no other way, only fouls, the referee's whistle today is a little loose, as long as he doesn't show a red card, the Chinese team has hope to contain Spain's attack.
Spain's good times lasted less than ten minutes, the Chinese team began their crazy fouls, completely against the ball and not people, no matter how you Spain passed, they just didn't let you pass, pulling, tripping, pushing, kicking tackles, doing everything, Spain's little men turned on their backs, constantly being thrown on the turf, referee Koulibaly's whistle kept ringing, yellow cards in ten minutes in a row three times, the rhythm of the game was completely disrupted, or there was no rhythm at all.
"Shameless! Shameless! The Chinese team is so shameless! Are they kicking football? It's rugby! It's wrestling, even kickboxing, but it's definitely not a football game...... Yes! Not good! Not good! Li Huan got the ball! He rushed past Spain's high defensive ......"
The Spanish commentator was denouncing the shameless foul tactics of the Chinese team, and the Spanish fans were also scolding the Chinese team for playing too dirty.
Because in the chaos, Li Huan didn't know when to get rid of Spain's three-man defense with the ball, started from the right side of his own penalty area, and killed the midfield like lightning.
Spain's central defender Pique rushed to the wing from the position of center back, he was originally retreating, but seeing Li Huan quickly get rid of Torres, Enrique and Fabregas's sandwich, he ran diagonally to the side, he must stop this Chinese, no matter what method is used, everyone knows the horror of this Chinese.
Pique, known as Pickenbauer, is the best central defender in the world, he has speed and height, as well as strong self-confidence, but today in the face of the world's No. 1 Li Huan, he didn't even dare to make a tackle, for fear of being dodged by Li Huan, Li Huan's speed was too fast, he directly pounced on Li Huan with the same movements as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and stretched out two long arms to hug Li Huan.
"Shameless! Shameless! "Spaniards are truly shameless!"
The fans of the Chinese team couldn't help but curse at this time, in their opinion, China's best counterattack opportunity may be gone, and Spain and central defender Albiol are dragging behind, and Pique is at most a yellow card.
However, at this time, the incredible moment came, Li Huan, who was already running at a gallop, stopped at this time, and then changed direction inward, Pique was almost going to hold Li Huan in his arms, but at this time, Li Huan shook it, and suddenly a dog ate and fell on the turf.
"Pique! Pique! Pickenbauer...... Yes! Pique has been passed! God, who can stop Li Huan now, who? Who? Who? ......" The Spanish commentator stood up anxiously, and he asked three questions in a row, because Albiol was unreliable at all, and Casillas had never blocked Li Huan's one-knife ball.
Li Huan sprinted at full speed and caught up with the ball.
The fans in the stadium were collectively speechless, no one spoke, only heavy gasps, the yellow-skinned face was expectant and nervous, and the white-skinned face was frightened and anxious.
Li Huan didn't let the fans wait long, and after wading diagonally into the 30-meter area, he adjusted his stepping point and shooting posture, and shot directly with his feet. "Bang!" Like a firing pin hitting a flint, the ball that got the momentum roared up at a speed ten times faster than Li Huan's running, and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
Albiol, who had already run to the edge of the penalty area, stopped, and he watched the ball fly in front of him in a daze, not even having time to jump up and intercept.
Casillas, the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, has rushed to the near corner to defend Li Huan's single ball, he didn't expect Li Huan to shoot directly at this distance, Cassie's biggest shortcoming is that he is too short, he flew up and wanted to intercept, but found that his arms were too short, and he could only watch the ball whizz past his gloves.
1:0.
The tired Li Huan sat on the ground with a smile on his face.
It was already the 20th minute of the second half.
"Goal! Entered! Li Huan scored! The Chinese team has scored! Li Huan scored a goal, Li Huan scored a goal, and ......" The commentators of China's major TV stations all turned into repeaters at this time, constantly repeating the sentence that Li Huan scored a goal, and at this time they only had this sentence in their minds.
"Goal! Li Huan! "There was a tsunami-like shout from the stands, the sound was earth-shattering, only five words, but it contained the fans' worship, love, admiration, joy and other emotions.
The celebration did not last long, and at the strong request of the Spanish players, referee Koulibaly stopped the Chinese players from celebrating and let the game start quickly.
After the Chinese team scored, the Spanish team has been forced to a dead end, because even if Paraguay loses they will be eliminated, now they have to score, they have to score two goals.
After the game started again, Pique was put on the front line, Buscos was replaced by Xavi, Spain played a strange formation of 334, bombarding the Chinese team indiscriminately, this time Spain could not afford to play the middle penetration, they continued to play from the side and the middle, with the high point of Pique, who had played as a center forward, to impact the Chinese team's defense.
The simplest things are also the most practical. Spain abandoned their art, abandoned the pass, and adopted a simple and rough long pass rush, and with Pique's strong commanding heights, the Chinese team will not defend, the cross ball keeps falling on Pique's head, the tallest defender of the Chinese team is only 1.86 meters, five centimeters shorter than Pique, and the header cannot be compared with Pique, so he can only take a semi-foul approach to defend Pique.
In the 80th minute of the game, the Chinese team finally did not defend Pique, Xu Bin had no choice but to pull down Pique in the penalty area, and was awarded a penalty, the veteran Xavi scored this penalty, and Spain equalized the score with this penalty.
There was another piece of good news from another stadium that made the Spaniards happy, as the Turks also scored at about the same time, they led Paraguay 2-1, and now a draw in Spain is enough to qualify.
The Spaniards who escaped death came from hell to heaven at once, but at this moment they didn't know how to fight, whether to continue the desperate attack like just now, or to stabilize the situation and slowly look for opportunities? This is a difficult problem, because if they don't want to attack again, they may score again, but they may also be counterattacked by the Chinese team, and the horror of Li Huan's counterattack just now still remains in the minds of every Spaniard, and if they score another goal at this time, it will be difficult for the Spaniards because there is no time. But it is also a big risk to stabilize the situation and slowly look for opportunities, in case the Paraguayans equalize in the end, it will be Spain who will be eliminated.
The head coach Bosque is suffering, the Spanish players on the field are also suffering, the manager has not given orders, and their tactical thinking is not uniform, is it to attack with all its might, or, slowly, to look for opportunities, to defend, or not to defend? Without the back of Boscos, does Pique want to return to the backline?
The tactical thinking is not unified, Spain's offensive is not as sharp as it used to be, Pique is in the Chinese team's penalty area, but his brain is still in his own penalty area, and he has not exerted his original power.
Bosque pondered for three minutes before making a compromise decision, removing striker Villa and replacing him with Da Silva, with Sergio Ramos returning to centre-back and Gerard Pique continuing to play as centre-forward. In this way, Silva's ability to attack on the flanks can bring crosses without the need for an assist from Ramos, who has a strong defensive ability in the middle and can make up for the void on top of Pique.
Bosque's decision is good, after the substitution, Spain continued to put strong pressure on the Chinese team, but he even thought about the substitution and delayed for five minutes, and the normal game time was over in 5 minutes, and it was not easy for Spain to break through the door of the Chinese team in five minutes.
The tenacious defense of the Chinese team dragged the game into stoppage time, at this time the minds of Spanish fans are no longer in the stadium, they are using their mobile phones to ask about the score of another game, as long as Paraguay does not score, Spain even if it draws with the Chinese team, they can also qualify, now the Spanish fans do not have the original arrogance, they no longer have the luxury of winning the first place in the group from the hands of the Chinese team, as long as they can qualify, they are thankful.
With the whistle of referee Koulibaly, the match between the Chinese team and Spain ended, and the Chinese team drew 1:1 with the powerful Spain with Li Huan's goal and qualified for the first place in the group. The Chinese laughed and jumped and shouted frantically, celebrating the Chinese team's first round of 16 in history.
Because the other game was still in stoppage time, Spain was still not sure whether they would qualify, and they all looked at the Chinese who were frantically celebrating the qualification, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the Spaniards in seconds at this moment.
Suddenly, a Spanish fan cried loudly, and then another cried, and then all the Spanish fans fell to their seats, and the Spanish players on the field were also like being hit on the head, some slowly squatted on the field, some fell on the lawn, some burst into tears, some beat their chests, and some shouted to the sky.
The Chinese in celebration looked at the Spaniards with sympathy, they understood what was going on, and just got the news that in the other field, the Paraguayan players took their fate into their hands at the last minute, and the Santa Cruz goal gave them a 2-2 draw with Turkey, eliminating Spain in terms of mutual record and reaching the round of 16.
In terms of strength, Spain is the favorite to win the championship, but football is so cruel, the strong may not be able to win, just like the smart people do not necessarily succeed.
